3 April Arles-St Gilles 21 kilometres

The clouds cleared and the sun shone as we crossed the Camargue. The path was mostly well waymarked with the red and white grand randonnee signs and, as we went on, often by the scallop shell of the Chemin de Compostelle. The welcome at the Pause Pelerin in St Giiles was wonderful. A great dinner - salad, lasagne, madeleines with strawberries and creme anglaise washed down with local red, rose and white wines - shared with our hosts and three Germans and one French pelerins. The rain began again in the evening and we retreated to a bar to write postcards.
